Working in Perth
As well as Perth itself (PH1 and PH2), we survey in Auchterarder, Blairgowrie and Rattray and Crieff.
In a city the size of Perth, parking and access for a skip are worth sorting before the start date — we will ask at the survey. For a new cloakroom in Perth, the first thing we look at is where the nearest drain or soil stack runs. If the only toilet in your Perth home is upstairs, a cloakroom under the stairs or in the utility can save a lot of trips.
Supplies across most of Perth and Kinross are soft. In soft water, taps, wastes and toilet pans scale up slowly, so brushed and matt finishes are a safe choice. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- A new waste connection to the soil stack or drain, or a macerator where the rules allow it
- An extractor fan ducted to outside, wired with an overrun timer or linked to the light
- Strip-out of the old fittings, waste removal and making good on the hall side
- A survey that checks the headroom under the stairs, the door swing and how the waste will reach the drain
Decisions to make first
WC style
A wall-hung WC on a frame gives the most floor space and looks neat. A back-to-wall pan in a short furniture unit is easier to fit against an uneven wall.
Finishes
A small room can carry a bolder tile or wallpaper. A feature wall behind the WC costs far less here than in a full bathroom because there is so little of it.
Rules that apply in Scotland
In Scotland, forming a new WC that alters drainage may need a building warrant, while refitting an existing cloakroom normally does not. Water fittings are covered by the Scottish Water Byelaws 2014, and electrics should be tested and certified to BS 7671.
